“creora®” is a synthetic filament yarn essentially composed of carbon, oxygen,

nitrogen and hydrogen. This synthetic yarn contains additives to achieve desired

chemical and physical properties. These additives do not cause unexpected

hazards when handled and processed under guidance provided in this MSDS.

Composition/Information on Ingredients


“creora®” may retain a small amount of residual solvent,

Dimethylacetamide(DMAc), which is included in the candidate list of SVHC

(Substances of Very High Concern) under REACH (ECHA/PR/11/26). This

MSDS contains information to allow safe use of the acrticle. However, the

amount of DMAc present on the fibre will significantly diminish with further

processing and handling. The DMAc content is expected to be minimal once the

fiber reaches the end-user.

Hyosung’s spandex (creora® ) has been produced and processed without any

report of adverse human health effects until now. Under recommended

processing and ventilation conditions, there is no health hazard which might be

caused by “creora®”. “creora®” is expected to present minimal risk to human

health and nature.

Classification of the substance or mixture

creora® , as a fiber, is not a hazardous substance or preparation according to

EC-directive 67/548/EEC or EC-regulation 1907/2006

Other Hazards

Materials: N,N-Dimethylacetamide (Cas No.: 127-19-5 / EC No.: 204-826-4)

R20/21 – Harmful by inhalation and in contact with skin

R36 – Irriating to eyes

R61 – May Cause harm to the unborn child

Residual DMAc solvent and lubricant oil can be given off into the air or

extracted from the fiber during aqueous or solvent finishing. During processing

operations, there is some possibility that insufficient ventilation could cause

airborne DMAc and lubricant oil to exceed the exposure limits, which may

cause a skin rash, allergic reaction, abnormal liver function, nausea, vomiting, or

Hazards Identification


abdominal pain by skin or eye contact, inhalation, and ingestion. And hence,

safe handling should be necessary. And also, there is little possibility that

physical contact to spandex yarn may cause acute or chronic health hazard

because Titanium dioxide and other inorganic are additives bound within the

polymer matrix. In some case of certain dyeing and finishing conditions, some

specific inorganic may be transformed to a soluble form, which is expected to

cause no adverse health effect.

Inhalation

If sufficient ventilation fails, or if DMAc (or Lubricant oil) could be

accumulated or condensed in work area, remove personnel from the area. If

symptoms of overexposure to DMAC or Lubricant Oil appear, remove

personnel to fresh air. There is no specific antidote. If symptoms persist, call a

physician.

Skin

This product has very low possibility to cause a hazardous by skin contact.

If irritations occur, Wash hands thoroughly after handling

Eye

In the case of eye contact, flush with flowing fresh water and seek a medical

care.

First-Aid Measures


Fire & Explosion Hazards

“creora®” is composed of some kinds of polymer, and which means that

creora® burns well like most natural and synthetic fibers under some

circumstances. Precautions similar to those taken with other fibers should be

taken. However, “creora®” should not be ignited by itself without any heat

source like other combustible fibers.

When creora® burns, it is decomposed readily with hazardous gases such as

carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and other incompletely oxidized organic

products which are usually produced when other natural and synthetic fibers

burn.

Extinguishing Media

All extinguishing media are suitable. Dry chemical, CO2, water sprayer or

regular foam is available.

Special Firefighting Equipments & Instructions

Self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn to protect from hazardous

gases which may be generated by thermal decomposition and combustion. Keep

away from all sources of ignition including static charges.

Normally, there has been no serious problem related to the spill/leak because

“creora®” is a solid and stable substance. However, fiber fly, DMAc or

Lubricant oils may come from the spandex yarn during yarn handling and

processing. If accumulation of airborne dust, DMAc or Lubricant oils occurs on

work place, remove it by suitable absorbent or mechanical cleaner. If the extent

or area contaminated is abnormal, wear appropriate protective equipment.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Accidental Release Measures


Packaging Information

“creora®” is packaged and shipped as single continuous fibers wound on

plastic laminated paper tubes or recyclable all-plastic tubes in cartons and

multiple continuous fibers wound on beams in racks.

Storage Information

A clean, cool, and dry environment is recommended to store “creora®”. Avoid

excessive heat, flames and exposure to exhaust gases from internal combustion

engines.

Under normal processing conditions, there is no dust hazard from this product.

When fiber products are cut, chopped or manipulated in other similar handling

methods, some dust may be produced. However, in case that significant fiber

flies are generated, exposure limit of airborne fiber is recommended as

10mg/m3 in air. In case that there is a potential to generate a mist or dripping of

lubricant oil finish, exposure limit of it is recommended as 5mg/m3 in air. Under

conditions of insufficient ventilation (especially when severe thermal conditions

are employed), DMAc concentrations in air may exceed the exposure limits.

Laboratory tests detects that overexposure to DMAc (which can vaporize over

266℉) by inhalation, ingestion, skin or eye contact may cause symptoms of

nausea, headache, eye and skin irritation could be followed by jaundice,

vomiting, abdominal pain, and abnormal liver and kidney function. According to

some reports, workers in plant exposed repeatedly to 10 to 40ppm may get

symptoms of lethargy, dizziness, and weakness.

Handling and Storage

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection


Personal Protection

No special protective equipment is necessary under normal processing

conditions in which there is sufficient ventilation done.

Ventilation Required:

Sufficient local exhaust ventilation is recommended during yarn handling and

processing to keep fiber fly (dust), vapor levels of DMAc, and Lubricant oils

below the exposure limits. During certain heat treatment, effective ventilation is

more important.

Skin Protection:

If prolonged handling of unprocessed yarn causes temporary discomfort due to

skin contact with lubricants and other surface deposits, wearing impermeable

gloves is recommended.

Eye Protection:

Safety goggles are recommended to protect from fragmented wire and straps

when unpacking product boxes.

Respirator:

A dust respirator approved by NIOSH and MSHA is necessary if dust

concentration exceeds dust exposure limits. A respirator with organic vapor

cartridge is recommended if DMAc or Lubricant Oil concentration exceeds the

exposure levels.

The followings are occupational exposure limits values related to DMAc

(Dimethylaceamide, CAS No. 127-19-5) at the workplace.

listed nor regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA, ACGIH, NTP, EPA and IARC.

Animal Toxicity Data

Acute toxicity data of DMAc (Dimethylacetamide) are as followed.

Oral LD 50 ……………………….. 4300mg/kg (In case of Rat)

Dermal LD 50 ……………………. 2,240mg/kg (In case of Rabbit)

Inhalation LC 50 …………………. 2,475ppm/1hr (In case of Rat)

Carcinogenicity …………………... Negative

Mutagenicity ……………………… Negative

Eye Effect ……………………… Mild irritation (rabbit)

Skin Effect ………………………

Human patch testing indicates that

creora® is not a skin irritant nor skin

sensitizer.

DMAc is present in the fiber and may be released during processing of this fiber.

The effects of DMAc have been presented above based on animal testing of

high concentration DMAc and may not representative of the toxicity of the fiber

containing DMAc.

This product is not associated with any known negative ecological effects.

However DMAc and some specific inorganic will be removed by water, which

should be treated by in a waste water plant to comply with local regulations.

Ecological Information


“creora®” is not a hazardous material in itself as a waste disposed, and may

be incinerated or landfilled in compliance with federal, state, and local laws and

regulations.

“creora®” may contain small amount of DMAc as residual spinning solvent.

Waste water containing DMAc and some specific inorganics must be disposed

(or treated) in a waste water treatment plant in accordance with existing

regulations, because the DMAc in waste water contributes to the Biological

Oxygen Demand (BOD), and some specific inorganics could be partially soluble

during dyeing and other fiber processing.
